Eddie Izzard: Greek Heroes

[MrKentleigh]

Why does he dress like a woman, even though he does I still love him XD

[spartaninspace]

@MrKentleigh because he's a lesbian transvestite

[davehoeyen19]

dont worry i was born delay

[CanadainPride66]

...I thought Helena was from Troy?

[Anoukvdp1996]

@CanadainPride66 no she was the wife of the king of Sparta but then she was stolen by Paris and brought to Troy. That's way they started a war. (and the greek hated Troy already)

[CanadainPride66]

@Anoukvdp1996 Thank you. :) I'm kinda rusty on my Greek.

[TheSeventhChild]

PURSEus

[DayForPray]

What a faggot

[thantrus]

He looks like Judy Dench in that.

[bobduvar]

An executive tranvestite called Eddie....

France loves you ma tante......

[so2fast4u2]

@vulturnusxan That's Vlad Tepes you're on about... Dracula comes from a writer's imagination.

[katieintraining]

Shouting at people until they agree. Can't wait to try that method on my students!

[omgatheism]

For some reason the line "put a video about mice on the tele, the fucking snakes are up" fucking floored me.

[HighonBoots]

[Vynjira]

@HighonBoots Sexie

[iAmLeRoY1221]

[GilraenLuinwe]

[Vinco]

[rankaratar]

Medusa: Where was I when the immortality van showed up!?

Gorgon Sister: You were off buying snake food.

Medusa: ...Bloody hell.

[adswellfit]

will now have to watch everything with transcribe audio it makes videos much more interesting

[GOPLAID]

I hate the fact he looks better in a dress and heels than I do. EDDIE!! =3= *shakes fist*

[ShinkuButler]

DUDE I want that outfit.

[sirherothebrave]

God he is funny, people seem to be closed minded, he wears what he likes just like everyone else. Good for him glad he does what he likes and be's himself.

[YinsShadow]

@almario1402 It's simpler than that actually, he's not a transgender. He just wears what he wants to wear, just like when women started wearing pants instead of dresses.

[GnosticHumanist]

There is actually an island called Lesbos in the Mediterranean Sea where lesbians munch each others carpets all day while reciting Sappho.

[will97kmorgan]

you know your future history well....

[KarasuTakama]

This audience is awful

[venomstrikez]

puss juice?...



[NumbFlynn]

Odysseus did fight, actually, lol. Very funny anyhow

[HumaneAnon]

He wears clothes usually worn by women for what purpose? Comfortableness?

[sporesports]

@HumaneAnon he is a transvestites



[Aztekninja123]

Hes a shemale?

[zoeechristineblack]

Amazing that he can be so hilarious, and still dance around a stage in high heels.

[ShadowXII]

133 people were buying snake food when the immortality van came around.

[ShadowXII]

Row, ya fuckers!

[Tricorvus]

Eddie is 5 months 2 days older than my better half. So we can relate eaisly to his humor...

[NathanJesseMcCarthy]

@Tricorvus humor has no age :D im 16 and he makes me need to pee lol

[Tricorvus]

@NathanJesseMcCarthy You are mature beyond your years, and this goes to show that Eddie's comedy surpasses all barriers. Very talented man. :D

[Namaechan]

Persius... Persius... Pursue?

[brigeisabella]

SOMEONE'S TRYING BREAK INTO THE ISLAND!

[wingituk]

Wa's all this with the way he chooses to express himself? He often says 'I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body' LOLLLLLL! The way he CHOOSES to dress has NOTHING to do with his sexuality.

[xander7ful]

He's an absolute riot. Brilliant.

[darkcanuck]

He could just be a robot in disguise

[118519]

She's a Gorgon...from the cheese family.

[SOULofaMELODY]

i love how he dresses! :3

[katiekannibal23]

I love how similar his voice is to various Monty Python's characters. It makes me giggle.

[GOPLAID]

@katiekannibal23 He was in Monty Python... >3>

[alexjaep]

he's an action transvestite.

[killerkandi133]

@alexjaep he should have his own action figure

[TheProducerPeople]

"Someone's trying to get into that island!" I laugh, every...fucking...time!

[PennyTraition]

@steerpike66 Well said! (Re: Stop talking about the clothes and pay attention to the comedy)!!

P.S. He DOES look fabulous, though, INCIDENTALLY, other than being our best comedian...)O(

[SoloWingpixy91]

i think someones trying to break into that island

[steerpike66]

WOULD YOU PLEASESTOP TALKING ABOUT THE CLOTHES AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMEDY, YOU IDIOTS.

[sassy1988]

@steerpike66 Thank you! I still don't understand why everyone's talking about his clothes all this time after the fact. Did these people not know that Eddie Izzard wore women's clothes? I thought everyone knew that. But the MAIN point is that he's HILARIOUS! :-)

[ANETAJ]

the sirens hahahahahah goshh lol

[kristenjk22]

who cares if he acks like a chick hes so funny

[blobby1972]

if he chooses to dress as a lady fine its his parogative .but why a 1970s prostitute .lol

[steerpike66]

@blobby1972 You clearly know little about either the 1970s or prostitutes.

[blobby1972]

@steerpike66 Thankyou your very kind.

[dirtymonkey55]

...Who cares what eddie is, hes fucking hilarious and thats all that counts :D

[YerkesDodsonCurve]

I can't get it to load past 2:27?

[raybattams53]

Just enjoy his humour folks

[raybattams53]

Just enjoy the humopur forget about the looks of the comedian

[InuAlexYuki]

What a girlc8

Lol

[mumstheword102695]

Lol, this dude is my hero!

[LivexLongxProsper]

I am super jealous of that coat!

[yorrel]

funny as man, nice

[AbakusSilverThorn]

mythological mistake :) the labyrinth and the minotaur done by Theseus and another one Perseus was actually son of Poseidon not Zeus. Just to clear it out.

[OlafurNeal]

@AbakusSilverThorn Perseus was Zeus' kid, in the story Percy Jackson and The Olympians, Percy Jackson is Poseidon's kid. He was named for the original Perseus in the Greek Myth.

[MindOfMankind]

he just shat all over the Iliad, Odyssey, and the story of Perseus.... Funny though

[cmagyer1]

I usually don't actually watch these videos, I listen to them. So I was about halfway through before I saw what he was wearing. I love this outfit and would love to look as good in it as he does.

[kamilucredic]

He's making some valid points here, but I'm so distracted by the fact that he looks better in a tight skirt and stilettos than most girls.

[blackleatherrain]

I so want that outfit. :-/ Wonder if he's still using it.

[L7redbatgirl]

I about fell out of my chair when he did the car psyrens

hahahaha

[L7redbatgirl]

Who knew psyrens were the first valets? Advertising parking before anyone knew what it was! xD

[MatsumotoKael13]

Can't you all get past his sexual orientation or clothing preferences and listen to his comedy?

[eteledevil]

Medussa from the cheese family

[EnviedCure776]

I'd love to meet a handsome, funny transvestite and marry him. ^_^

[Vynjira]

@Gatofranco Those are breast forms... all sorts of transvestites wear them.

[snapelicious]

@Gatofranco if he didn't wear 'em, his shirt would look silly.

[Abasuto]

@Gatofranco

He looks fully comfortable with who he is.

Which is just a crossdresser. 

[Naddig74]

@Gatofranco Study the wisdom of Izzard. Eddie is totally happy with who he is. A heterosexual guy who happens to enjoy wearing womens clothes. Live with it.

[AzeCluzt]

Over one Million veiws. This is offcaily a win <3

[jacksawild]

The name of the Cyclops was Polyphemus but he told Odysseus that his name was nobody so when Odysseus called for his friends to help him, after Polyphemus trapped him in the cave, he shouted "Nobody is trying to kill me, Nobody has trapped me in his cave, Nobody wants to eat me!". So his friends thought he was ok... bizarrely. I guess the oldest trick in the book had to be new at some time.

[random4848]

@jacksawild no Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was nobody so when he called his father, Poseidon, and told him that nobody had stabbed me in the eye he could get away... but because Odysseus was a bit hubristic he called his name out as he was sailing off the island and the Poseidon kept him away from home for 10 years

[jacksawild]

@random4848 Shoot... You're right.. Hey, it's been a long time since I was at school. I should have paid more attention.

[drtrekwars]

I played Odyseyus in a play recentley :D

[monkeyhunny8]

Makes me laugh every damn time ^.^

[cocolanglands]

He still has better legs than me, so whatever.

[PearlAndZildjian]

Shouting at people until they agree is not a new form of teaching.

[anthonycotillo]

@PearlAndZildjian you are right , it is not new at all, it was the prefered method of teaching for every single one of my teachers, from kindergarden to university, quite popular still, according to my nephew.

[sedsonso2]

Eddie is hilarious, who gives a fuck what he wears!!

[slm845]

That outfit is smashing. I want to be a video game character with that outfit on.

[ManyARamblings]

Just a note, everyone forgot Drag Queen, which is a gay man who dresses in women's clothes.

[AliceValium]

Eddie Izzard: 100% Awesome.

[GigawingsVideo]

Odysseus: They see me sailin' they hatin'

[13Jerbear13]

who cares if hes transexual, transgender, or transvestite. Hes funny as hell and awesome. Watch the videos for the humor =)

[danielhmccurdy]

Who cares what he is!!!! He is funny as fuck!!!

[vfrennzyx]

and all the greek myths it looks like they were all written by a guy with a big bag of weed LOL

[superhamzah85]

Transport = a bus who wants to be a taxi.

[SynthOno]

@superhamzah85 Trans Sport = A minivan made by Pontiac in the late '80s and Early '90s.

[darkroselight]

That was the whole story, it was called "Ohh fucking hell"

[Ramberta]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast hah, your definition of drag queen made me giggle, but that's not quite right :P they are performance artists, much like burlesque dancers. Most drag queens don't even cross-dress except for the stage. :)

[theIZZYbella15]

WOW he needs to study up on his Greek mythology lol

[MaxRideLP]

you know your future history - I DO! LOL

[KnowledgeAndTheBeast]

TRANSVESTITE: Crossdresser. Nothing else.

TRANSEXUAL: Someone who considers themselves a member of the opposite sex, but isn't physically.

TRANSGENDER: Someone who has actually become the opposite sex.

[Tannimd]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Forgot Drag Queen - someone with too much fashion sense for only one gender.

[KapStuf]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast ...as opposed to DRAG QUEEN, which is a (usually gay) man dressed as an OTT cartoon of a woman. Or a DRAG KING, which is the reverse. Not to be confused with a DAME, which is like a drag queen but sexless, frumpy and children's entertainment - usually in the company of a PRINCIPLE BOY, who's a young woman playing a young man. Are we confused yet?

[VioletDrow]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Transgender is an umbrella term for ALL people who cross the gender line. Transexual are people who feel they are the opposite sex and may or may not be in the various stages of transition. A transvestite is a crossdresser. Nothing else.

[jkino78]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast I think transgender and transexual are the wrong way around in your explanation

[KnowledgeAndTheBeast]

@jkino78 Nope. I've got it right.

[rainrequiem]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast as a transexual man, I'm preeeeeeetty sure you're wrong.

[KnowledgeAndTheBeast]

@rainrequiem As an educated man, I'm pretty sure I'm right. A transexual is defined as “someone who identifies as male or female but whose gender identity conflicts with their biological sex". A Transgender is someone who's actually undergone a procedure to become the opposite sex.

[rainrequiem]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Merriam-Webster defines transgender as "of, relating to, or being a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the person's sex at birth," but the term has been expanded to basically mean anyone who is not cisgendered.

[jkino78]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast I was about to explain why you are wrong there but looking through the thread I see it's already been pointed out.by a number of people. It's pretty easy to look and and find the proper term instead of arguing with an actual transexual about it. Your definitions are spot on, you just have the names the wrong way round.

[Mokualii09]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast you got transgender and transsexual backwards. gender refers to the psychological aspect whereas sex is the biological aspect

[system0system0]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast All of that is disturbing. I dont care about what is he hes funny.

[infinitypanda]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast You have transsexual and transgender backwards.

[xretrovertigox]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Eddie Izzard = Business Transvestite

[kryptoniceffect]

@xretrovertigox Executive Transvestite. But also Action Transvestite.

[epictwiglet]

@xretrovertigox you mean executive transvestite :)

[ubermarklar]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Eddie Izzard is a self-confessed lesbian

[vulturnusxan]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast

TRANSYLVANIA: Place in Romania where Dracula comes from

[tabooman]

@vulturnusxan TRANSPORTATION: Car, Truck, Bus, Van, SUV, Jeep

[Hangoverlike]

@tabooman Jeep is a brand mate : )Same as BMW or w/e, and they make SUV's :P

[xander7ful]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast Thank you for that explanation. I'm transsexual and I didn't know the difference between those terms.

[philhunter2005]

@xander7ful Hi, he got the TRANSEXUAL and TRANSGENDER definitions mixed up. Transexual is someone who has actually had the gender change operation. Transgender is someone who considers themselves a member of the opposite sex, but isn't physically. :)

[xander7ful]

@philhunter2005 Then I was right about myself. I am transgender. Thanks.

[neboi2299]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast

Sorry, but you have it backwards. Sex is a physical form and gender is social concept. You have transexual and transgender reversed. Transsexuals have had surgery and/or hormone therapy to modify their physical appearance.

[k2a4m8]

@KnowledgeAndTheBeast You're incorrect. "Gender" refers to the socially constructed set of behavioural norms associated with masculinity or femininity or neither, while "sex" refers to the actual physical organs which distinguish males, females, and hermaphrodites.

[oblivionzzzmike]

too bad his comedy is progressively ruined by his outfits

[tictactocmintyclock]

why is he dressed like a woman?

[MrJustasR]

Why this comedian dressed like a woman?

[microchess]

@MrJustasR he's a transvestite

[HYPERCUTEMODE]

It's legal, it's legal; So is waking your nan up dressed as Hitler, JUST DON'T DO IT!

[Vixen92]

....Why is he in a dress? Is it for laughs or for some actual, stated reason?...Actually, scratch that, he looks fabulous.

[incrediblelatte]

@Vixen92 Izzard is a transvestite, meaning he's heterosexual but enjoys wearing female clothes. So its more for his own comfort than for laughs. Though he is confident enough to poke fun at himself.

[jkino78]

@incrediblelatte actually he only ever dresses that way when he's doing stand-up, so I often wondered is he an actual transvestite or just "standing out" in an original way. In any case, my favourite comedian

[spazticgoose]

@Vixen92 HE'S AN EXECUTIVE TRANSVESTITE. :D

[merzer131]

Hahah brilliant, especially when you have read Homer and yourself pondered over how big of a douchebag Paris actually is.

[BritishAlienCompany]

Whoever pressed dislike didn't live in a sponge cake! x

[Tueify]

I want to shag her brains in.. now that!, is worth sacrificing a city for

[stickmanstudios77]

Oops I accidentally flagged this video dammit if it gets removed I will shoot my self his attire freaks me out though I have nothing against cross dressers it just makes me feel weird

[DeathnoteBB]

@stickmanstudios77 xD

[BoundInChains]

This bugger is hecka knowledgeable

[Caradog93]

Where can I get those BOOTS???

[freewill51]

Why are people arguing over his clothes? He is transgendered. He wants to be a GIRL. He said it in this video at 3:06. He is funny and that's all I care about.

[mdsatan]

@others, He is a very funny guy in womans clothing. No need to ask any more qiuestions

[goodideaatthreeam]

I want his coat!

[choirgirl171]

He is a transvestite. In one of his specials, he actually calls himself a transvestite. Transgender/transsexual means that you desire to become the opposite sex. These are the people that often undergo the reassignment surgeries. A transvestite is just fine with their sex, but choose to wear clothing of the opposite sex. A drag queen, for instance, is one form of transvestite...the performance-only type (usually).

[MsAnnieCreamcheese]

@choirgirl171 Small correction: the term "transvestite" usually refers to a heterosexual or bisexual man that enjoys dressing in womyn's clothing for one reason or another, whereas a drag queen is usually a gay male that does the same (usually for performance purposes, or just to be fabulous, or whatever). Otherwise, spot on. :D

[Atmocean]

what show is this from?

[livefortheater]

I like his shirt :)

[jd100992000]

right on...XD

[mixza737]

Eddie Izzard is crazy. Who would want to stand up in those heels for that long? They're nice-looking boots, but just looking at his feet is painful.

[manicmuffin]

Weird that a woman can wear pants without anyone batting an eye (at least today, not so just 100 years ago) but put a man in a skirt and half the people get in a tizzy.

[nokshor]

@manicmuffin Actually from around early medieval to victorian times, women did wear trousers.

[manicmuffin]

@nokshor

Yeah, but then it fell out of fashion again until about the 1950's, and even then it was scandalous for women to wear pants.

[spainman0]

well ill take chicken then

[ratatoskrable]

The whole bloody le- well, I dunno if it was a lesbian island but it sounds fantastic, anyway ...

[TheGirlKiba]

do you think people dislike this bc he is a transvestite? i mean i don't support them but idc bc he is fucking funny

[Elbemarle]

First: wow, he's a little hard to follow in this, and he's usually very sharp and lucid! Well, everyone has a bit of an off night from time to time on drugs.

Second: that jacket, is, good god. Spectacular jacket.

[sivanataraja]

Could anyone tell from which Izzard's show this comes from? Thanks.

[DramaFreak420]

@sivanataraja its from Live From Wembley -TheatreF00l

[sivanataraja]

@DramaFreak420 Thanks

[goop2526]

A bit flat Susan.

[TenshiChihuahua]

And a magic... tractor lol

[ShingoEX]

I have never sen a man who looks better wearing women's clothing...

I've seen him on talk shows sporting a beard with a suit and tie, and it seems wrong.

[noriply]

oh, why don't he and Ricky Gervais team up for a show? ^^

[UnnaRainchaser]

@noriply Brilliant idea!

[mdsatan]

@noriply Because there is a limit to how funny and awesome a show can be, the two of them working together would usher in apocalypse from a jelous god.

[SuliB89]

holy shit!! elton johns lover!!!

[dalekdude180]

every other line he says is quotable.
